Face 2 Face
Juice WRLD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haha, yeah
(Uh)
(Every time, every time)
(I go to fall asleep)
(Every time I close my eyes)
Yeah
These demons haunting me
Face my fears, face to face as we meet
Evil is grabbing me
Losing my gravity
My mind's a bloody scene
Detached from reality (reality)
I won't, I don't wanna
I don't wanna, I don't wanna implode
I won't, I don't wanna
It's the end of the summer, it's starting to get cold
If I knew all along the Midas touch
Would expose all my wrongs, turn 'em to gold
The ship gon' sink, can't sail no more
I lost my receipt when I sold my soul
I lost my seat, what do I stand for?
The monsters of the deep (the monsters), they take control (control)
No matter where I go, the devil always know
To bring me down, in my dreams, he prowls
Every time I go to fall asleep
These demons haunting me
Face my fears, face to face as we meet
Evil is grabbing me
Losing my gravity
My mind's a bloody scene
Detached from reality (reality)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
In Juice WRLD's song Face 2 Face, the artist delves into the dark corners of his mind, where he is constantly haunted by his demons. From the opening lines, we can sense that this song is going to be introspective and gloomy. He explains that every time he tries to go to sleep, he is plagued by his own fears, which he must face head-on. The demons he faces are both physical, as he talks about 'evil' gripping him, and also mental, as he mentions that his mind is a 'bloody scene' and that he is 'detached from reality.'
The chorus finds him admitting that he doesn't want to implode, but feels like he is losing control. He also talks about the seasons, implying that his struggles are cyclical, and the coldness of autumn is symbolic of his lack of warmth and emotion. He mentions how his wrongs would turn to gold if exposed to the Midas touch, but he's not ready to face the consequences. He also talks about losing his receipt when he sold his soul; this line is about how he can't get his soul back, which is a powerful metaphor for the consequences of making a deal with the devil.
Throughout the song, Juice WRLD talks about his inability to escape his own inner demons. He also speaks to the monsters of the deep who are taking control of his thoughts and actions and how the devil always knows how to bring him down. Ultimately, the song reveals a deep sense of vulnerability and self-awareness. Juice WRLD's lyrics allow us to peer into his psyche and understand his struggles on a more intimate level.

Every time I go to fall asleep
Whenever I try to sleep
These demons haunting me
I feel like I'm being haunted by my troubles
Face my fears, face to face as we meet
Confront my fears and face them head-on
Evil is grabbing me
I am being consumed by negativity
Losing my gravity
I am losing my balance and stability
My mind's a bloody scene
My thoughts are chaotic and violent
Detached from reality (reality)
I feel disconnected from the world around me
I won't, I don't wanna
I refuse to
I don't wanna, I don't wanna implode
I don't want to fall apart completely
It's the end of the summer, it's starting to get cold
A change is happening and things are getting worse
If I knew all along the Midas touch
If I knew that my talents would lead to my downfall
Would expose all my wrongs, turn 'em to gold
Would reveal all of my mistakes and make them public
The ship gon' sink, can't sail no more
My life is falling apart and there's nothing I can do about it
I lost my receipt when I sold my soul
I regret giving into temptation and making a bad choice
I lost my seat, what do I stand for?
I feel like I have lost my identity and sense of purpose
The monsters of the deep (the monsters), they take control (control)
The dark parts of my mind and soul are taking over
No matter where I go, the devil always know
I can't escape my problems, they always follow me
To bring me down, in my dreams, he prowls
Even in my sleep, I am haunted by my problems
